Why: |
The biggest barrier to market adoption of biofuels is the high cost of cultivating, harvesting, transporting and processing of feedstock. |
|
|
Featured in Biofuels Digest and Ethanol Producer, Proterro could, through its novel, patent-pending biosynthetic process, resolve the feedstock challenge for biofuels by delivering non-crop-based, noncellulosic, fermentation-ready sugar at less than $0.05/lb. €“ a cost lower than sugarcane, corn, other energy crops, or cellulosic sugar approaches. |
||
|
Proterro's sucrose is a sustainable, inexpensive, geoflexible, fermentation-ready feedstock. It can be used to produce a variety of commercial scale fuels through standard industrial fermentation methods. |
